The idea is that most tiles extend .mainLayout and look like
HEADER
[body]
FOOTER
But some tiles extend .nestedLayout instead, which in turn extends
.mainLayout for two layers of navigation:
HEADER
Nested Header
[nested body]
Nested Footer
FOOTER
The nested header+body+footer together form the "body" within the
.mainLayout tile. But there are several tiles like this, which hold the
Nested header/footer constant while varying the nested body. Hence the
.nestedLayout tile extends .mainLayout, defining a new "nestedBody" slot.
I think .nested1 extends .nestedLayout extends .mainLayout is logical
and almost works--just can't figure out how to (cleanly) get the
nestedBody attribute value where I need it.

<definition name=".mainLayout" page="/tiles/mainLayout.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp">
<put name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.jsp">
<put name="title" value="${title}"/>
<put name="body" value="${body}"/>
</definition>
<definition name=".nestedLayout" extends=".mainLayout">
<put name="body" value="/tiles/nestedLayout.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="${nestedBody}"/>
</definition>
That is, it looks like you want to override rather than extend the
definition? Is that right?

Oops! I meant:
<definition name=".nestedLayout" extends=".mainLayout">
<put name="body" value="${nestedBody}"/>
</definition>
